The flight

What the tracklog shows, and which crossings scored.

Start time taken: gate 2 of 5 — the last start gate at or before the crossing. The speed-section clock runs from the gate, not from the crossing (FAI S7F §8.3.1).14:15:00
Completed the task — full task distance is credited.

Day quality — points on offer

Task validity 88.25% of a perfect day, so 882.5 of 1000 points were available.

Launch validity — did enough registered pilots launch?100%
Distance validity — did the field fly far enough relative to the nominal distance?100%
Time validity — was the winning time long enough relative to the nominal time?88.25%

Scored distance52.0 km

Measured along the optimized task line, up to the furthest point on course.

Time points

182.4 pts
Time points use the 5⁄6 speed-fraction exponent (the current FAI S7F, S7F §11.2).
Your speed section time1:26:35

Timed from your 14:15:00 start gate to the end of the speed section (FAI S7F §8.7) — you crossed the start at 14:17:06.

Fastest time in class1:01:10
Time points fall off with the gap to the fastest time182.4 pts

speed fraction = max(0, 1 − ((T − Tbest) ÷ √Tbest)^5⁄6) = 0.515; × 354.1 available = 182.4 (times in hours)

Leading points

69.8 pts
Leading points reward flying out front during the speed section — the pilot with the best leading coefficient takes all available leading points, others fall off with the gap.69.8 pts
Measured with the classic squared-distance leading coefficient (S7F §11.3.1, the hang-gliding / GAP2016–2018 variant).

Arrival points

25.2 pts
Arrival points reward crossing the end of the speed section early relative to the other pilots who reached it.25.2 pts

Total

654 pts
Distance + time + leading + arrival, minus penalties654 pts

376.7 + 182.4 + 69.8 + 25.2 ≈ 654 — the points above are shown rounded to 0.1; the total is rounded from their exact sum.
